This isn’t the first time a brand new game has hit the Genesis in modern times, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. We British gamers tend to have the ol’ Megadrive in our blood, so I’m happy to see something released for it.

Who about you? Are these truly retro releases a good idea, or is it nostalgia gone mad?
